Yahoo Vs Google

Tried Yahoo search today after many years...
Pleasantly found out that Search suggestions for Yahoo ( drop downs as you type in Search term) goes much deeper than Google especially when searching for people...
On a note of self flattery - it actually had a drop down that identified me with my company...given that I am pretty much a non entity in the world and people who even know me tend to think that I am part of the background...Hmmmm I am impressed.
I tried this with various searches and found this to be true across the board.
This may be a pretty good idea...prompt users in a given search direction instead of relying on the cryptic two words that they may be putting in the search box.
